Are You For Or Against ObamaCare?

Yes

No

What's ObamaCare?

Why is it that we can spend trillions of dollars on War with the tax payer’s money and cannot defend the right of the taxpayer to have affordable healthcare? If you kill off the majority of your citizens how can that strengthen the country? Is taking care of your citizens a thing of the past? Many people in this country have no health insurance and the Republican Party doesn't seem to care. Their argument is

Won't taxes be easier to pay if you can create jobs with ObamaCare? (What is better Social Budget cuts or Tax Increases?)​

Didn't two Wars add trillions to the deficit? Wouldn't you rather get some benefit if you must pay anyway?​

What are your thoughts?​

I think that the first problem is that, Black people are not Americans...never been treated as such, legally are not citizens which is why we have "Civil Rights" as opposed to the same rights that other people have...and we have to always wait to see if they are going to sign them again ever so many years. I can tell you what Obama did for the Jews since in office. I can tell you what he did for the Hispanic community since in office. I can even tell you what he did for the gays since in office. Now...what exactly did he do for Black people??????? Maybe that will help in your answer as to why it seems that WE as Black people ain't feeling no Obamacare....because regardless of what, we've been paying with the highest rate of unemployment...which accounts for our paying with the highest level of incarceration....which accounts for us paying in our blood everyday on the streets....which accounts for the fact that we're tired of the lies that our babies have to be taught in order to call it an education when it isn't....which accounts for our having the highest drop out rates (like who wants to go to school just to be lied to?)

JamesfrmPhilly is right....this is the wrong forum for that question. And who is this "we" that you were speaking of in your post...like Black people actually have anything to do with any of that which you mentioned?

So, your answer is to stick your head in the sand and act like nothings happening?
How is this going to promote change? The people have no power through protest?
The only way change has ever been brought about is through the masses of people coming together for the betterment of society. You may not consider yourself an "American" but you live in "America" nevertheless. You are affected by what happens in "America" and so are your family & friends. Like it or not "we" are part of the group which makes up the "American Society" as long as we live here.
Is the right to healthcare for every "American" wrong? Or should we continue to let Black people die due to the lack of it?

This is not true, for history reveals that the masses have never been right about anything, EVER!!! The masses don't think. The masses don't ACT they REACT. The masses never lead, they follow the leader, right or wrong.

We don't live here, we exist...and we do that very cautiously ever since our own "role models", our "educated", our highly "skilled" and our "wealthy" moved away from the masses of us to live with White people....with the effect being one that left the rest of the black population to fend for themselves in every way possible. So no, we ain't American although those that left us may mistakenly think that they are. Furthermore, when did anyone stop and ask any of us if we wanted to be American or if we wanted to stay or leave? My bad, that's a question that ONLY FREE PEOPLE are asked...a slave gets dictated to as opposed to being asked anything.

We not dying because of lack of healthcare, we're dying because we're black....PERIOD!!! We got black judges, police, wardens, ministers and politicians that are aiding in our death that work for white America. So don't tell me about the bull ish that nobody can relate to when the issues that are the main cause are not being addressed by anyone who is black that matters. Yeah, we got a black President for the 10th time...and nobody can tell me one thing he's done for us as a people even though all the others got their concerns addressed. Oh, my bad....he did tell us to shut up, stop whining and to strap up our boots.

We'll since you know a lot about the "system" and what's wrong with it, and we're still living here(You & I) then how can it be fixed? If it can be fixed at all, for us so called "Richest Slaves On Earth". Got any solutions or ideas? Ain't no better place to talk about it then on the "Front Porch!"
